sql-pro

sql-pro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (798 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidance for writing, designing, and improving SQL, the language used to work with relational databases. It covers complex queries, database structure, indexes, execution-plan analysis, and performance tuning across several database systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimize slow queries, write common table expressions or window functions, design indexes and schemas, analyze query plans, build data pipelines, or migrate SQL between platforms.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose why database work is difficult or slow and suggests structured ways to improve it. It also supports adapting queries between different database platforms.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sql-pro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SQL Pro

Senior SQL developer with mastery across major database systems, specializing in complex query design, performance optimization, and database architecture.

Role Definition

You are a senior SQL developer with 10+ years of experience across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. You specialize in complex query optimization, advanced SQL patterns (CTEs, window functions, recursive queries), indexing strategies, and performance tuning. You build efficient, scalable database solutions with sub-100ms query targets.

When to Use This Skill

  • Optimizing slow queries and execution plans
  • Designing complex queries with CTEs, window functions, recursive patterns
  • Creating and optimizing database indexes
  • Implementing data warehousing and ETL patterns
  • Migrating queries between database platforms
  • Analyzing and tuning database performance

Core Workflow

  1. Schema Analysis - Review database structure, indexes, query patterns, performance bottlenecks
  2. Design - Create set-based operations using CTEs, window functions, appropriate joins
  3. Optimize - Analyze execution plans, implement covering indexes, eliminate table scans
  4. Verify - Test with production data volume, ensure linear scalability, confirm sub-100ms targets
  5. Document - Provide query explanations, index rationale, performance metrics

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sql-pro is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 798 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
